I like making these and I love my family. Follow me through the tunnels of life all while building an empire, or a dog house, or whatever you can think of. I hope it’ll be a good journey!
do you have plans for this. would to build something like this for myself. Im doing a craft fair and this would be great for somewhere for me to take payments at
These are the ones I used. There are different brackets and different sizes, available so check which ones you need. Your situation may be a little different and different brackets may be needed. So just double check that… CAFORO Heavy Duty Wood Bed Rail Hook Plates - Pack of 4 www.amazon.com/dp/B07MVJHK8B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_3PM0Y013DMRFN0CE9RKZ
@@Znailart the slats? I assume the wood running from one side of the frame to the other right? If so, it doesn’t have to be the same ply wood I used, it can be pallet wood or whatever kind of wood you can find that is at least long enough to cover the span from the side of the frame to the middle. I don’t recommend joining two pieces together to cover that span. You have to remembre it’s going to be holding a lot of weight but the weight is also spread out pretty evenly.
I've never seen a video like yours that shows the process of removing the high spot as visually clear as this one. This is my NEW favorite video because I finally feel like I understand the process. Great Job Luis! Keep these kind of videos coming.
Thanks for this video! Im building my first tool chest at the moment, and I had a couple of questions. My long beams will be laminated red wood (two 2x4s) and Im also using half laps for joints on the long cross beams, both front and back a the base of the tool box. I'm worried about the weight for my tool chest and I want my joints to be strong. 1. Should I do a mortise and tenon joint to the stretchers at the ends of each corner of the long beams to add strength to be able to carry the weight I'll have on this tool chest. I worry about the weight because I'll have my top box (which is about 120 lbs empty) sitting on it. 2. Or would pocket hole screws and glue be enough to add strength to that joint? My tool chest will be about 56" long and 25" deep, 36" tall on six heavy duty 5" casters.
Hi Ken, I think I understood your question and can definitely understand the concerns of the weight. In your case the way I would do it is, half lap joints on all of the joints, front and back, top and bottom. Also I would consider adding a third pair of “legs” in the center of the 56” span, also cut in a half lap joint. And as far as holding the half lap joints together, simple glue and screws will do. The glue and screws are not holding any of the weight, they are just holding the joint together, the wood is doing all the heavy lifting. If you want to be fancy, you can do dowels instead of the screws. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@homespot5445 Thanks! I think you got it. I'll probably go ahead and do half laps and dowels. I just worry about the joint breaking, so I want to over engineer it. (Already had 3rd leg in the plans) Thanks for your recommendation, I think I'll do that.
Another great video 👌💯 first of all THANK YOU! I'm so pleased and grateful this came out absolutely lit 🔥 not only does it function perfectly but it looks amazing.
Another great video and incredible build, you do such an amazing job narrating and filming that there's never a dull moment. I remember seeing it in person and being blown away how sophisticate and solid this podium looked. It's nice seeing the finished product.
Another great well thought out and articulated video Luis 👌💯 my takeaways "it's better to over-engineer than to under-engineer" that's so true and something I too will live by when doing woodworking.
They are beautiful, lots of work goes into. Who in thier right mind would spend that kind of money on a cutting board. There are a lot of you tubers doing these cutting boards asking a hundred plus dollars. It's a cutting board, go to the dollar store
Just a quick tip for your table saw, it looked like you tripped your breaker a few times using a crosscut or combination blade. Invest in a good rip cut blade, feud has some good ones and it's worth the money. It will allow your saw to cut 8/4 hardwood like butter and you won't have to force the boards through.
Great Job Luis! I found this video very well thought out. This project was simple, well explained and designed. I liked what you said about take your time you can always take more off but you can't add it back on if you take too much off so patience is definitely a virtue. Can’t wait to see more of your content keep posting and I’ll keep watching.
